A Good Read
Looking for an insightful book? I am loving "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert.

Shower the people you love with love ...
My mom and my sister, Jeni, threw me a family baby shower.

It was so fun to get some fun things for our much anticipated little girl.

It was also surreal thinking that in just a few months I will actually be using those things!

LAKE POWELL

Clay catching a catfish with his cute little neices and nephews
I didn't really take a wild ride on the sea biscuit - we just made it look like I did as we pulled up to the houseboat to give my sweet mom in law a little scare.

Me and my adorable, chubby new nephew — Tanner Johnson
(not to be confused with Tanner Child — also adorable)

One of the many perks of being married to Clay is that his family has a share in a houseboat, so we all go down to Powell every summer.

Clay absolutely loves it and is as happy as a little boy on Christmas Day the whole time we are there.

I decided not to risk the wipeouts I often take on the wakeboard and "sea biscuit" and just soaked up some sun and enjoyed the vacation.

Here's to many more Lake Powell trips to come.

Next time, we get to bring our baby girl!

My brand new niece Kate ...

A little piece of

Heaven.

Happy 20 weeks! 

I can't believe I am halfway. 

I'm glad I finally have a little something to show for it! 

I am so excited for this little girl to come. 

The Results

We're having a girl!

She did quite the little dance for us during the ultrasound - it was so fun to see my baby moving around! I already love her so much and am excited for her to come.

I can't wait ...
to see how she wraps Clay around her little finger. He is going to love that little girl!
to have a little buddy to hang out with all day.
to see what she looks like - I had dark curly hair and Clay was always a blondie.
to dress her up and buy her fun toys (including dolls and Barbies, of course)
to read to her every night.
To have a little baby of my own for Clay and I to smother (nicely) with love.

The Countdown

2 days until we find out if the human swimming around inside me is a BOY or GIRL! Until then, I will be anxiously awaiting my 3:30 appointment on Monday. If you haven't voted on the poll yet ... do it!

I really don't know what it is. There have been days when I've thought it must be a girl, but other days when I've felt like its a boy. So either way, it will be a surprise! I can think of so many reasons why it would be fun to have either.

Stay tuned for the results. I might even post a photo of my little baby belly. Might.
